The A Red Orchid Theatre production of Sam Shepard's "Simpatico" has been a very tough ticket in town this summer, mostly due to the presence of Michael Shannon, the TV and movie actor who has returned to his theatrical roots in Chicago.

A Red Orchid said Tuesday that Shannon is to stay into September: "Simpatico" now will close on Sept. 15. Tickets are on sale for the extension weeks; they are sold out through Aug. 25.
